Creating wiki pages with special characters may be problematic
Added by André Bachmann almost 14 years ago.
Updated almost 8 years ago.
Description
I recently noticed some little quirks when creating wiki pages with certain special characters.
For instance, I can write on a wiki page a link to a new page as [[M&P]]. As soon as I click on submit, the link to this page is shown in the wiki as M& (without the letter P). However, the resulting wiki page is called M&P.
The next problem is when I write a link as [[M#P]] on a wiki page and click on submit. This link is shown as M, the resulting wiki page gets the name M#P, which may dangerous because a hash # has a special meaning in URLs.
Let's look at a link [[M%P]]. The resulting link to this wiki page is correctly shown as M%P. But the wiki page itself is named M%25P.

There is also a problem when using these characters in a wiki text (may be related with this issue, so I post it here): If I write a percent sign directly followd by a comma, the percent sign isn't shown in the resulting wiki page (only the comma is shown). If I write an ampersand directly followed by a comma, it is shown as x%x, which is quite weird.
Added the small patch to solve the issue.
Any chance that this patch gets integrated into Redmine?
Page "Version 1.2.3" result in "Version 123"
Confirming this issue, in Redmine 2.3
Is this solved?
When i create a link that has an accent in a wiki it returns me his html code (check image)...

- Status changed from Confirmed to Closed
- Target version deleted (
Candidate for next minor release)
- Resolution set to Duplicate
A patch that fixes this issue was submitted to #22967. I think that it is safe to close this issue as duplicated.
- Is duplicate of Defect #22967: Special character like quote breaks wiki links added
